Do you have a thing for a rock star’s leather pants or the pool boy’s tiny bathing suit? Does the sight of a fireman set your heart aflame? Does a white coat and a stethoscope make your heart pitter patter? Does the mechanic get your engine running? If there was one guy or girl who would rock your world who would he be?
